So who thinks the Rossi WON'T be making it three-in-a-row

Even if he does win it again, it looks like he'll have it a lot harder this year. You only have to look at how much pressure he was under for the last couple of races last year + the winter testing troubles for Yamaha.

Should be a great year for MotoGP

Marco won't have anyone to follow early in the season as Rossi's front end is fcuked and so Marco won't get a tow to get a good time or stay near the front.

I think Mini P just has him and Valentino psyched out already. Little Mr. personality is gunna take it to em all year!!!!

Bottleout is already making excuses for his poor performance, surprisingly, blaming the bike

Edwards has to concentrate more on his southern drawl then his bike riding.

Stoned one is gunna throw it at every fence for a while, then if he doesn't kill himself, will probably challenge for the odd podium.

Capirossi is just trying to hang in there for another year and a little more to add to his super fund before he pulls up stumps and goes back to being a cobbler in his little italian village.

Knackers will honour his Japanese heritage and commit hari kari (spell) if he doesn't put it on the podium once this year...in the dry!

Hopper is going to ride the wheels off the thing again this year, and still not podium.

Vermuelan is regretting is move to Suzuki already, and has asked the legal team at Slater and Gordon to take on the case Pro-bono due to Suzuki's misrepresentation. Apparently in the contract, they refered to the Suzuki Moto Gp machine as a BIKE.

Rossi is more worried about his chances against Alonso, and is going to bin it a few times early in the season until he puts himself under enough pressure mid season to make it a challenge again for him, and then he will do what he always does and hose them!!!

Pieka i knew if i kept reading your posts you'd have to come good sooner or later ...... & YOU DID.

Nice work mate ... I think your dead on the money mate.

Cept you left out young Randy getting horny & winning a wet race on the KWIKA.

Gibbasook could break the curse & win one but rossi will win the championship running away.

But i still think his only real competition is Schumacher.

No it isn't. He tries this BS every year. He does really well in every test except the last one and then all of a sudden there's something wrong with the bike.

Please.

even if the front end IS farkeded..he could outride most of the buggers on one wheel neway....braking is just a little tricky...

i dont care if rossi wins all the races.......as long as its a "race" before he pulls the pin with a lap to go and shows us all just what you can do on a bike if youve got the talent/balls

apart from that i reckon strika's pretty close to the mark

I know a cop that isn't an arsehole (other than Jase) You might meet her one day

But back on topic, Rossi is a master at un nerving is opposition, He is at least 1 step ahead of everyone before he even jumps on the bike. He will with his 8th title this year.

Yep he's the full package, ride like "Ago", Sense of humour like "Barry", Public relations like "Mamola", Business sense of "Doohan", be fast on a crap bike like "Schwantz", Aggressive like "Gardner", loose like a gentleman, "cast curse's like a "Witchdoctor" & throw a slap like "Drag Queen".

Just as well he's as ugly as a "hat full of Clackers" or they would all shoot themselves or end up in World superbikes.

He makes it more intersting unlike "Doohan" who killed the 500cc tv ratings.
